Review on 🍰 Calphalon Nonstick Bakeware Springform Pan, 9-inch: Baking Made Easy! by Adam Hutchinson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for baking free-form bread.

In 2020, I baked bread about three times a week based on the famous no-knead bread recipe that first became popular about 15 years ago. Ever since I discovered it I haven't wanted to use anything else. The problem with this recipe is that the pan needs to be preheated to 450 degrees in a hot oven. A cast-iron pot with a lid is recommended. Unfortunately, I've found that none of my expensive cast iron products are up to the task, since every part contains at least one element - a handle, a handle - that starts to melt at such high temperatures. Or the bread turned out great, but the topping on the pan kept cracking. At a modest price, I found the perfect solution: this frying pan. Not complaining about a 450 degree oven. The baking sheet is easy to remove when hot before placing the batter in and returning to the oven to bake. Since it doesn't have a lid, I put a baking sheet on top because I'm so genius sometimes. When the baking time is up, the bread slides straight out of the pan. No trace, so cleaned up in about 15 seconds. I can't think of a better solution to my bread baking problems and my family loves bread (that's why I bake it so often).

Pros
  • The thick steel core does not warp and heats evenly with no hot spots, so your cookies and cakes come out of the oven perfectly and evenly browned.
Cons
  • Other Other
